   This appears to be resolved by setting the TextRenderingHint of the Graphics object:

   g.TextRenderingHint = System.Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias;
   

   The default configurations becomes unhappy when you render onto a transparent or translucence background (it goes away if you add a background color).

   I assume this comes with a cost, but I'd reckon this should be enabled by default in OxyPlot.Core.Drawing. It could be made configurable, but I'm not sure there would be much point adding behaviour just for it. Better would be to allow some mechanism for the user to configure the Graphics object directly (e.g. through a call-back).
